Hello everyone! I'm raising a 1-year old baby, is there anybody else in this community also raising a baby? There are times I wonder how some Japanese baby words are described in English, in terms of talking to a baby.
Like, we have baby words such as "boo-boo" for a car, "tacchi" for standing up, "an-yo" for walking, "nen-ne" for sleeping, "man-ma" for foods, "nai-nai" for putting or cleaning things away, and many others. Does Englsih have such baby words which are almost completely different from the original words? I'm just curious.

I have a four-year-old daughter and expecting a baby boy this October.

I do not use baby words much. I talk to my daughter just like I talk to my friends here in the Bay Area.

The only exceptions I can think of are:

pee: to urinate (well, to go to the bathroom/restroom)
poo-poo: to produce stool (well, to go to the bathroom/restroom)
What about "tummy" which means stomach.

As for pee and poo-poo, oh my, even when I was 22 years old, my friends and I were using those words...
My wife uses tummy and she is... Oops, not a baby! :-)
I hope tummy is not a baby word :-)

I usually use intestines and abdomen.
i know one.

"piccaboo"(ピッカブー) (i dont know how to spell)
it's meens "inai inai ba-"

please try it with an action!
Hi. let me write down some ..
I use the word tummy too.
I think that word is used within grown woman as well.
I dont think guys often use it tho. I've heard its considered to be kinda gay if they use it.
hehehe,
my spelling was sooo wrong.
peek a boo; its totally make sence if you think about it.
cool, i learned new word today!
Hi, everyone, thanks for all of your kind consideration and comments! I see there is not much expression used for babies except for pee-pee and poo-poo and choo-choo and peek-a-boo and tummy, well, great! I try to teach my baby some words in English since he's now at the stage of repeating whatever he is spoken to. However, he hasn't picked any words I said yet (socks, shoe, milk, tea, etc.)
